I think google will ALWAYS keep that philosophy as long the original founders are around (Brin/Page). Same thing with HP, when the owners were around, everyone knew and respected the company. When Hewlitt and Packard both passed so did the company's values and everything they stood for. The company did a total 180 when Carly took over and drove what was left of HP into the ground. But I digress...I'm VERY happy google is (possibly) entering this market as I've had a friend scammed from Paypal and heard tons of horror stories.
